Chapter 10 The Truth

When Xie Wan invited Lin Shiyin, the words conveyed were: "It's a beautiful day, and I would like to travel with you."

This word reached Long Xiaoyun's ears, and he acquiesced that Xie Wan came forward to invite Lin Shiyin on behalf of Li Xunhuan.

Once a person's heart has changed, nothing can be seen from the original intention.

Long Xiaoyun believed that Li Xunhuan's demeanor was fake, and couldn't help sneering inwardly.Because even he himself didn't believe that Li Xunhuan would really be willing.In addition, his attitude towards Xie Wan also changed.

This Miss Xie is really "selfless", not only asking for nothing, but also helping the person she likes to save others.

Here, upon hearing the news that they were going out together, Li Xunhuan asked Uncle Zhong about the location and hurried there.

According to Uncle Zhong's words, a few girls went to the suburbs for an outing, but they only lived in one suburb, and when Li Xun Huan really found them, he realized that it was all due to fate.

Two full hours passed, Li Xun Huan searched back and forth several times, but he didn't see any of them.As the sun went down, the crowds in the suburbs gradually returned to the city. Among the sparse crowd, only Li Xunhuan was alone.

In fact, it wasn't that Xie Wan avoided him on purpose, but sometimes it was such a mistake.Although she and Lin Shiyin went to the suburbs, they didn't stay there all the time. They went to the Temple of Flowers afterwards. on flowering branches.

After worshiping the Flower God and coming out, Xie Wan said to Lin Shiyin who was beside him: "Shall we have dinner earlier today? Yanbei is here today to celebrate the Flower God Festival, so as not to be crowded with others, eat earlier and come out earlier in the evening to set off the flower lamps." .”

When Lin Shiyin thought about it, she also felt that it made sense.

"it is good."

The place where the two of them had dinner was naturally Zhenhai Tower. As soon as they stepped into the restaurant, they were greeted respectfully by the staff in the restaurant.

"Miss? Why are you back so early?"

Uncle Zhong approached, a little puzzled, after all Xie Wan said earlier that she would play outside today and come back at night.

"Ms. Lin and I are only waiting for the temple fair in the evening. We will go out early after eating early to get a good seat."

Uncle Zhong smiled when he heard this, and turned around and asked the kitchen to make a table of good dishes first and send them to the yard.

"No, it's busy outside today, let's sit in the private room upstairs."

For such a trivial matter, Uncle Zhong naturally agreed repeatedly.He personally led the way in front and brought the two of them to the private room with the best view on the second floor.

"Uncle Zhong, don't worry about it, go out for the holidays later."

Uncle Zhong smiled and shook his head: "I watch it every year, and it's not the same. Uncle is getting old, so I don't think it's interesting."

Xie Wan couldn't help laughing, and she didn't know who said that he could help a drunk Xiao Li Tanhua to rest in the room without any effort.

But since Uncle Zhong said so, Xie Wan didn't persuade him anymore.

On the contrary, Uncle Zhong remembered Li Xunhuan's hasty trip back before, looked at Lin Shiyin who was sipping tea with her head down in the private room, sighed inwardly, and thought to herself: What a crime.

"Miss, Mr. Li came back just now and asked me where you and Atang Xiaotao went. I said that you and Miss Lin went to visit the God of Flowers for an outing."

Xie Wan was stunned for a moment: "Ask me, and Atang Xiaotao?"

"Yes, I see Mr. Li's expression is a little anxious, maybe he has something urgent to ask you."

Xie Wan immediately realized that the fish had finally swam along the bait bit by bit.

She bent her lips to Uncle Zhong and smiled: "Well, Miss Lin and I didn't see him just now, it's probably a coincidence. Uncle Zhong, if Mr. Li comes back later, you can tell him that Miss Lin and I are going If he is not in a hurry to set off the magic lamp in the south of the city, can we talk about it later in the evening or tomorrow?"

When the lanterns come on, Qionglou and Yuque, lively scenes can be seen everywhere in Yanbei tonight.

The venue of the temple fair was set up early, and it was still dark in the early spring, and soon, all the lanterns were lit up.

Li Xun Huan was walking on the street, surrounded by a huge crowd, he looked around, but there was no one he was looking for, he couldn't help feeling a little exhausted.

This exhaustion is not due to the rush of feet, he has traveled longer and more tortuous roads than this, but his heart is exhausted, and no matter how strong his body is, he can't bear it.

A sudden absurd idea made Li Xunhuan search for someone non-stop for several hours.At this moment, he calmed down slightly, standing in the bustling crowd, but he was only at a loss.

No matter how advanced the martial arts is, no matter how high the martial arts is, the heart is a soft lump of flesh, and no one is immune.

Therefore, even Xiao Li Feidao himself will be vulnerable sometimes.

If, if what he has always believed is not the truth...

Then everything he did before did not dare to make him imagine.

And if today's encounter was just because he thought too much and fell into a demonic barrier, how would he face his righteous brother and Shiyin from now on?

Someone noticed this man who was out of tune with the excitement, and gave him a strange glance.Standing in the middle of the street like a wooden stake, I don't know what to think.

After a while, Li Xunhuan also noticed that he stood still and blocked the way of others, and went back in the direction of Zhenhai Tower against the flow of people.The thought in his heart of asking Xie Wan or A Tang for clarification had subsided, and it was really meaningless for him to be alone among a group of men and women who worshiped the Flower God.

But just after Li Xunhuan walked a street, he met Xie Wan and his cousin Shiyin.

This night, all the girls and family members in Yanbei were holding a magic lantern, but in the crowd, only Miss Lin and Miss Xie were the most eye-catching. Yan Yan and Gu Pan Shenghui whispered something from time to time.

Beauty falls in their eyes, and they fall in the eyes of others.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Shiyin first spotted Li Xunhuan who was away from the crowd.The lights were dim, and the dim light shone on her face, which erased a little of her usual indifference, and reminded Li Xun Huan of her gentle and pleasant appearance in the past.

Amid the din of voices, Lin Shiyin did not change her face suddenly, but nodded gently to him.Following Lin Shiyin's actions, Xie Wan also noticed Li Xun Huan, a smile appeared on her face: "Young Master Li, what a coincidence."

This scene almost brought tears to Li Xun Huan's eyes.

Xiaotao Atang and Lin Shiyin's maids were also beside them. After Li Xunhuan walked over, they became the most conspicuous among the crowd.

Good-looking people, people always like to look at them a few more times.

"Cousin, Miss Xie, what a coincidence."

Thousands of words, in front of people, Li Xunhuan only said "what a coincidence", not to mention his hard work before.

Because of Lin Shiyin's presence, Li Xunhuan had no intention of asking Xie Wan, but his eyes stayed away from Xie Wan and A Tang after a brief stay.

After approaching, Li Xunhuan really smelled that special and familiar scent of incense again.

It is different from the powder fragrance of ordinary girls, it is a light and cold fragrance. It is precisely because of its specialness that Li Xunhuan still has an impression of it in his mind, so that he can remember it again after a few years.

Long Xiaoyun probably couldn't have imagined that, after all his painstaking efforts, he finally failed in this little detail that he never knew, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care about it.

It can only be said that a gentle woman is truly terrifying when she is ruthless.

Use gentleness as a blunt knife to paralyze the opponent.One knife can't kill a person, but it makes people feel pain.

Lin Shiyin noticed Li Xun Huan's gaze briefly on Xie Wan, and slightly pursed the corners of her mouth.

But on the way back, something unexpected happened.

Li Xunhuan blamed himself immensely.He had dealt with the Yang ghost with Tieshou before, and other enemies of his retreated after receiving the news. He thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect that there would always be exceptions. They valued hatred more than life.

When the tip of the cold blade aimed at Lin Shiyin, Li Xunhuan's first reaction was to protect him behind him. With his other hand, he took out a small Li Feidao. The next second, the blade fell to the ground, and the person died in front of him. a few steps away.

Li Xun Huan immediately turned around to comfort Lin Shiyin who was behind him: "Shiyin, Shiyin is fine, don't be afraid."

After all, Lin Shiyin is a woman who has experienced storms, so she quickly regained her composure.Li Xun Huan was so flustered because of her, Lin Shiyin couldn't help being moved.

"Cousin, I'm fine."

Li Xun Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while, he thought of another person whom he had forgotten.Li Xun Huan felt embarrassed for some reason.

Turning her head to look, Xie Wan was lowering her head and softly comforting the two frightened little girls beside her.

"My dear Xiaotao, there's nothing wrong, don't look at it, or you'll have nightmares at night."

Seeing Xiaotao clutching her sleeve with trembling hands, Xie Wan was a little distressed and helpless, so she touched the back of her hand with her free hand.Afterwards, she thought about it again, she couldn't treat one more favorably than another, so she also looked at A Tang with concern.Although A Tang didn't grab her, she still had a pitiful expression on her face.

Xie Wan bent the corner of her mouth at A Tang, turned her head and said to Xiaotao, "You see, A Tang is not afraid, you will be laughed at by me and her when you go back."

Hearing this, Xiaotao sniffed and said, "I, I'm not afraid either."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Tao raised her face and said seriously to Xie Wan: "Miss is not afraid, and I am not afraid either. I know that Miss is very powerful. You used to be as good at martial arts as Mr. Li. You will protect me and Ah Tang. .”

Hearing Xiao Tao mentioning Li Xun Huan, Xie Wan smiled and shook her head, and when she caught Li Xun Huan's gaze looking at her, she bent her mouth as usual.

It wasn't because Li Xunhuan subconsciously only focused on protecting Lin Shiyin and ignored any disappointment or dissatisfaction she showed.

Li Xun Huan's throat got stuck.

He began to feel that Miss Xie was a little strange.

In other words, I never really understood her.

I don't know that she was also a powerful martial arts master, I don't know that she was injured, and I don't know what kind of person she is.

Although there was no danger, the interest in visiting the temple fair disappeared completely.

Before Li Xun Huan could speak, Xie Wan made the decision for him: "You send Miss Lin back. The three of us also went back along this road."

Lin Shiyin frowned, "Then what should you do?"

Xie Wan said with a smile: "Didn't my little girl say that I am very powerful, don't worry about me, Shiyin, you should go back earlier. I still have to apologize to you, I invited you out today, but I made you touch me." in danger."

After hearing this, Lin Shiyin gave her an annoyed look: "What are you talking about?"

She glared at Xie Wan with seven parts false and three parts true, but when it came to Li Xun Huan, it was completely true, after all, this was Li Xun Huan's enemy.

Li Xunhuan rubbed his nose, but did not speak tactfully.

The two sides separated at this point and went their own way.

Li Xunhuan sent his cousin Shiyin to the gate of Li Garden, and Long Xiaoyun came out to pick her up in person. In front of Long Xiaoyun, Lin Shiyin changed back to her icy appearance, and before Long Xiaoyun even greeted Li Xunhuan, she said that she was tired. He took the maid back to the attic.

With something in mind, Li Xun Huan said a few words to his brother-in-law before leaving.He thought, he must ask Miss Xie to find out the cause and effect.

Back at Zhenhai Tower, Li Xunhuan saw Xie Wan sitting on the roof.Li Xun Huan picked up his lightness kung fu and saw that there were two jugs of wine beside her, obviously he expected that he would come to her and say something.

With people in front of him, Li Xun Huan should have cut to the chase and asked directly about the incense, but when he noticed that Xie Wan's face was much paler than usual under the moonlight, he just remembered that she hadn't stopped her decoction in the past few days.

But that's it, when he wants to drink, she still readily accepts the invitation so that he can drink to his heart's content.

Li Xun Huan sighed.

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's been cured a long time ago." Xie Wan said, "How can there be a disease that hasn't recovered for so long."

Li Xun Huan looked at her face and disagreed.

"I will be at the Flower God Temple Fair today, and I was looking for you on something."

"I know, Uncle Zhong told me when I came back, what's wrong?"

"I smelled a scent of incense on A Tang's body a few days ago, and felt that the smell was a bit familiar."

"I gave it to you."

Li Xunhuan squeezed the bottle tightly.

"I just heard what Xiaotao said. You suffered internal injuries before... The doctor you hired recently was also for this reason?"

Xie Wan didn't answer his question.

Now that the conversation has started, the following questions will follow naturally.

"Three years ago, when I was injured, a handkerchief was wrapped around the most injured part of my body. Tell me, what pattern is it on?"

Xie Wan patted the seat beside her. After Li Xun Huan sat down, she picked up the wine bottle and touched it in Li Xun Huan's hand.

"Whether it's flowers or leaves, mountains or water, is it important?"

She didn't answer anything, but she answered everything.

Li Xun Huan suddenly remembered the time when she murmured "It was her mistake".

Fate is really weird.

【Xie Wan: Tong'er, can you hide the murderous aura on me later? I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. 】

[System: I will try my best. 】

Li Xun Huan laughed, raised his head and tried to drink the wine in his hand in one gulp.Miss Xie beside him watched silently, and put down the empty wine bottle in her hand.

She propped her hands on the tiles behind her, looking up at the desolate moonlight.

But there was an extra dagger in her hand, and with the wide sleeves she specially put on today, only a little point of the blade pointed at Li Xun Huan's back chest.

"Feel sorry."

During the drinking break, Li Xun Huan sighed, "What do you have to apologize for?"

The dagger had already been stabbed, and in the nick of time, Xie Wan and the star-like eyes of the man standing under the roof met, his eyes were actually colder than the cold light on the tip of the dagger.

Xie Wan was startled, the dagger that was about to stab into Li Xun Huan's heart suddenly disappeared in his hand, and he slammed it hard on Li Xun Huan's back with too much force.

Li Tanhua was unprepared and suddenly choked out the wine.

"Thank you girl?!"

Xie Wan twitched the corner of her mouth stiffly: "It's nothing."
